Now that you’ve chosen your Forney Easy Weld machine, it’s time to step up your accessory game! Let’s break down the best accessories and consumables for your unit.

We generally suggest .030” flux core wire for this unit. However, if you’re working with sheet metal, .023” or even .024” are great options as well. We do not recommend running .035” wire with this machine, it simply doesn’t have enough amperage for that type of wire.

For stick welding, we recommend an E7014 rod. This is the perfect rod for beginner welders because it is a medium penetrating rod. If you’re just starting out in the trade, this electrode will save you time and frustration. E7018 with 3/32” diameter is also acceptable for this unit!
The Forney Easy Weld 180 ST also features dual voltage capabilities, and with 220 amps you can use bigger electrodes.
